"As a kid I use to watch the Norman Wisdom movies, good old Norman, better than the Carry on movies IMO. Growing up I use to always watch the two Ronnie’s. Ronnie Barker was my favorite. Everything he did was quality. Bernard Manning had his moments. Tommy Cooper made me laugh, not a big fan of Freddie Star though. Today It’s Sacha Baron Cohen. As for funny men in movies I always thought Eddie Murphy was worth watching, “Coming to America” was a great film. John Candy’s movies were watchable and Steve Martin’s movies are alway good light entertainment. “Dirty Rotten Scoundrels” was a classic. Not a fan of Adam Sandler movies but Mike Myers has put out some good stuff, “so I married an axe murderer” made me laugh. Some funny and some not. Who did/do you watch and who don’t you watch."

"Growing up, some Two Ronnies sketches were very good. Fawlty Towers made me laugh, as did Yes Prime Minister, which was and is probably the cleverest and wittiest TV comedy ever. These days, it's probably Bob Mortimer on Would I Lie To You. He's inspired and always leaves me with a warm smile inside. Fuji 9, the apple, the owl, and We Beg Your Pardon We're In Your Garden come immediately to mind."
